Itinerary:
Carol is our newest Potential Trip Leader with the AOC!  She wrote the following itinerary and will be leading the hike.  Come cheer her on!
 
Come  explore  the little known but gorgeous Jones Bridge Unit of the Chattahoochee NRA on Tuesday Morning as we cover between 4.5 to 5.5 miles at a comfortable, moderate pace. We will make a couple of stops along the way to rehydrate.  Beginners are welcome!
 
We will walk along the river towards the pond as well as explore the woods and meadows throughout.  We’ll loop around the back end of the park to make our way back to the parking lot. The trails are relatively flat but do expect several hills of about 150 feet of elevation. 
 
We will meet in the parking lot at the very end of the entrance road.  Restrooms are available.
 
We will start promptly at 10:30 am.   Please arrive 10 minutes early to allow time for introductions, pay the $3 parking fee, and use the restroom.
 
Up to 2 dogs are welcome, but in accordance with park rules, they must be kept on a leash.  Dog owners should walk ahead or at the back of the group.
 
***Don’t leave any valuables in your vehicles.
